Trang T. Nguyen, DDS, MS

ORTHODONTIST, SMILE CREATOR, WIFE, MOM, DAUGHTER

“I feel so fortunate being able to do what I do! As an orthodontist, I am constantly reminded of the life-changing effect that we can have on people’s lives. We play an integral role in transforming our patients’ smiles and enhancing their self-confidence. Best of all, since building a perfect smile takes time and precision, I really get to know my patients and they really get to know me. Developing long-term relationships is the greatest perk of my job. I treat each patient, no matter their age, as I would a member of my own family: with compassion, tender care, and as conservatively as Possible. When not practicing orthodontics, my life revolves around my wonderful husband Luong and our three sons, Jonah, Micah and Oliver. My favorite past times include traveling to exciting destinations and trying out new foods.”

Samuel S. Lee, DDS, MS

ORTHODONTIST, SMILE CREATOR, HUSBAND, FATHER, SON

“There’s nothing more rewarding to me than knowing you have helped improve the life of another person. In orthodontics, every day I get a chance to help someone feel that way. In the midst of working to create a healthy and beautiful smile, the most beautiful transformation is watching how much this translates into a patient’s personality and confidence. When not practicing orthodontics, my life is consumed by my beautiful wife Cindy and my amazing three children, Caleb, Christopher and Caris. My favorite sports teams are the Lakers, Dodgers, 49ers and anything UCLA, go Bruins!”

BOARD CERTIFIED ORTHODONTISTS //

Did you know that only 1 of 3 Orthodontist are board certified? We want to make sure we are set apart from other Orthodontist through our highest commitment to excellence to give you the highest level of care. A board certified orthodontist is an orthodontist who has voluntarily gone through hundreds of additional hours of preparation to demonstrate their judgment, skills and knowledge required for providing the highest level of patient care. They have achieved board certification through the American Board of Orthodontics, the only orthodontic specialty board recognized by the American Dental Association and in affiliation with the American Association of Orthodontists. An orthodontist is a dentist who has not only completed a graduate program in dentistry to receive their DDS or DMD (Doctor of Dental Surgery or Doctor of Dental Medicine), but has also gone through a competitive residency at a CODA-accredited orthodontic program for an additional 2-3 years to be trained specifically in orthodontics and dentofacial orthopedics. Achieving board certification is the last step in a long and intensive educational experience to ultimately provide excellent patient care. Other Accreditation and Membership Information:
